My husband was transferred to Columbus Oaks after a TBI and several hospital stays. Takeshia was so compassionate and helpful during the admission process and during a very difficult time for us. The staff she introduced me to were also very kind and reassuring.

Spoke to the Admission Coordinator. She answered ALL of my questions and explained the process of admitting a resident. Then she took me on a tour. Again, answered all of my questions and encouraged me to call if I have any concerns. They told me they were in the process of remodeling. Never actually saw any evidence of it. The meal trays in the rooms need to be upgraded, among other things. Four of the best employees “left” for other positions or just “disappeared” after getting to know them. The aides appeared to be “short staffed” on a regular basis. There are/was some caring, hard working aides at this facility. There were also rude, uncaring employees. No matter what facility you choose, be an active part…. Know what’s happening in the facility on a daily basis. This facility can use some improvements and more staff for what the residents are charged to live there, especially private pay.

My mom was NOT kept safe. Left in wheelchair, extended time, dozed off & fell on her face, death came within two weeks. My mom never ever tried to get up on her own because she feared falling more than anything. Remain diligent.
